A Day In D.C.

Went on a "field trip" to Washington, D.C. yesterday, making me feel twelve rather than twenty-two...except of course our buses dropped us at the curb and left us to our own devices. It was a cold and blustery day.
I do enjoy a good art museum with exhibits in photography and Dutch painters.
We also made a visit to the Natural History Museum--I would like to move into the orchid room they have there. I think a greenhouse would make a perfect home...Outfit details: coat- H&M, hat- my father's old, dress- ASOS,boots- some shop in Athens Greece, cardigan- H&M

that seems like a lovely day! i love going around in museeums.. i hope i will do that a lot while being in Paris... the art makes me calm and relaxed. i feel so good while watching wonderful pieces of art!xx

That dress is so colorful and amazing! Haha, so funny...I was just asking a friend of mine what Washington was like (I applied for an internship there...I doubt I will be chosen though....well who knows ;) )...and now you are doing a post on it :D I like Dutch painters...especially the paintings by all the Brueghels! I saw some of their originals in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels last fall...

Aww, I'm so jealous. I've never been to Washington DC. Husband and I have a plan to (one of these days) take a few weeks and travel up and down the east coast, checking out all the history and museums. :D

Flowers! I haven't seen flowers since September. Except in a vase, of course.Those fish are cute. I love little details like that.I like the print on your dress. Very cute.I haven't been to D.C. yet. It's on the list, along with um... the whole rest of the world.

you are the cutest..and i love the picture of the purple flowers..beautiful color. i like the boots =) btw, do you take pics on your own with a timer or someone take it? i always take my own since i dont really have anyone to ask and feel wierd asking someone to take my pics hahaha

I actually loved DC (hadn't expected much of it), especially the train station (I took SO many photos of the amazing ceilings) and the free museums. Did you get to the Modern Asian Art? That was one of my faves!

The photos are really beautiful! I've never been to any history museum but im definitely lookng forward to visiting one soon! :)Oh and the penpal thing... Haha for some unknown reasons i think it'd be rlly fun to be mail pals with you! ;)

Are those crocuses blooming already?? Wow! We just had an ice storm, so the prettiest things around here are trees and shrubs coated with sparkling ice - which I suppose is nice, but spring flowers it is not.
